Hi, all!

Which leads directly to Marcus' well known rant about positive
security models.

You can. You can code an HTTP server that does nothing but
serve static documents in (my guess) less than 1000 lines of
C and you can prove a program of this size to be correct.

Customers tend to favour "off the shelf solutions", though.
IIRC this once led to another one of Marcus' rants ;-)

Regards,
Patrick
